METHO OF ORNAMENTING FURS.

p SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 240,703, dated April 26, 1881.

' Application led January 25, 1881.

To all whom it may concern: i

Beit known that I, LUoINIUs HAvAsY, of the city, county, and State of New York, have invented a new and Improved Method of Ornamenting Furs, of which the following is a specification. i p My invention relates to a new and improved method of improving the appearance of furs.

The invention consists in attaching the tips or outer ends of feathers to the fur in such a manner that these feathentips will appear between the hairs of the fur, and will produce various e'ects, according to the position in which the fur is held., A

In the accompanying drawings, Figure l is a face view of a piece of fur ornamented according to my improved method. Fig. 2 is a` longitudinal sectional View ofthe same, showing the feather passed through the skin and sewed thereto. Fig. 3 is a longitudinal sec.

tional elevation'ofthe same, showing the feathers pasted to the hairs or to the skin.

Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts. v

The tips or outer ends, AA, of birds feathers are attached to the fur B in such a man-T ner that the feather-tips appear between the hairs of the fur and appear to have grown out ofthe skin with the hairs.

The tips of feathers may be fastened bypassing the center rib through an aperture ofthe skin and sewing it to the under side of the same, as shown in Fig. 2, orthe feather-tips may be cemented or pasted to the hairs or to the skin.

(Model.)

Feather-tips of any desired size, color, or kind may be attached to any desired kind of fur, and the fur ornamented in the manner described may be used for caps, cloaks, mufs, trimmings, Svc.

Various ornamental effects can be produced with this fur, for if a person looks down the fur from top to bottom the feathentips will not-be visible, but will gradually appear as the person faces the fur.

I do not claim an imitation fur made of feathers, as I am aware that has been done heretofore. i

I am aware that it is not broadly new to at- Vtach tufts of feathers to a fur body, but I use only the Shanks or center stems of the feath ers, on the outer ends of which are retained the tips of the feathers.

l am aware that feathers have been sewed to alining of silk or other material, and arranged to partially envelop the mmf-foundation, hang down on either side, and meet on the top, so as to follow the contour of the muff; but

NVhat I claim isrlhe method ot' ornamenting furs which consists in attaching the stems of feathers directly to the pelt, and allowing the feathered tips to project over the surface of the fur, as shown and described.
